Package: evince
Version: 49~alpha-2
Followup-For: Bug #1128994

Hello,

I am running into what appears to be the same issue. In my case, it reliably crashes when double-clicking the window border to maximize the window. The previews on the left are also missing, and it will sometimes seemingly randomly crash in other situations.

Backtrace:

Interesting that it appears to be using llvmpipe. SMPlayer recently started randomly failing to create Vulkan contexts as well. Maybe this could be a regression in Mesa? Or maybe this is unrelated.
Regardless, here is the inxi output usually requested by Mesa:
